Arbitrary Waveform Generators

Arbitrary waveform generators offer a degree of versatility that few other instruments can match. In addition to creating standard waveforms, they can generate "real world" signals with all the glitches, drift, noise and other anomalies that a device-under-test will encounter when it leaves the lab or manufacturing floor.

With their ability to produce all the types of waveforms that you can imagine, these mixed signal generator instruments embrace applications that include serial data communication simulation, wireless network stress testing, disk drive testing and much more. Key capabilities include:

• Analog, digital and mixed signal generation
• Up to 4 analog outputs, 28 digital outputs, and 4 variable level marker outputs
• Industry-leading performance: up to 20 GS/s sample rate; up to 5.8 GHz bandwidth
• Up to 14-bit vertical resolution
• Real-time sequencing control to create infinite waveform loops, jumps, patterns and conditional branches
• Integrated PC, large color display, touch screen, removable hard drive, CD/DVD drive, USB ports, Ethernet and GPIB, providing flexibility to enhance productivity.
